THE THREE HUNDRED (8) settled back but wound up late to finish fifth when resuming last start over 5f in the LR Lonhro Plate at Randwick. Blinkers on and strips fitter. Sure to go well. MARAIS (6) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten a nose, over 5½f at this track. Has upside and can open his account. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (14) stepped out for her debut over 5½f in the Golden Gift at Rosehill back on November 11 and finished sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Improver who can feature in the finish. EMPRESS OF JAPAN (11) is a first-starter by Savabeel who was an AUD $ 150,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Easter Yearling Sale) purchase. In the placings at most recent Randwick trial. Betting to hold the key.
